The decisions your year-end accounts never tell you about
A fortnightly email for directors of established limited companies, covering VAT schemes, salary and dividend timing, and corporation tax forecasting. Written by Nasir Rasheed MAAT AATQB.
WHAT LANDS IN YOUR INBOX, AND WHY MOST DIRECTORS NEVER SEE IT
Four things every issue works through, using the situations that come up in real company accounts.
VAT scheme decisions, worked through
How standard, flat rate and cash accounting behave when your costs are overseas software, subcontractors or reverse-charge services.
Salary and dividend timing
How directors set pay across a year, where the headroom runs out, and what changes when profit moves.
Teardowns of a set-up review
What gets checked when a company joins Nexus, anonymised by type, and what turned out to be wrong.
Forecasting tax before it lands
The routine that puts a corporation tax number in front of a director a month ahead of the bill.
WHO THIS IS WRITTEN FOR, AND WHO WILL FIND IT DULL
Read the four lines below. If two or more describe you, the email will be worth opening.
You direct an established limited company and want to understand the numbers behind your decisions.
You have never had anyone check whether your VAT scheme suits your actual cost base.
You take salary and dividends and want the reasoning, not just a figure from your accountant.
You are making hiring, pricing or investment calls and need current numbers to make them.
